The Thomas B Fitzpatrick Medal is a new IFPCS Award dedicated to the memory of late Thomas B Fitzpatrick, Edward C Wigglesworth Professor of Dermatology, Chairman Emeritus, Department of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA and selected by the IFPCS as an international recognition of outstanding contributions to the basic and clinical research on pigment cells and malignant melanoma.

This award has been made possible thanks to a most generous donation of Prof. Kowichi Jimbow, the Chair of the Organizing Committee of the XXth International Pigment Cell Conference, in Sapporo (Japan), where the first Thomas B Fitzpatrick Medal was awarded to Heinz Arnheiter (MDS, NINDS, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).
